Go.
Bush chose to invade an oil producing country (Iraq) and should have (did know) known what the effect would be on gas prices.
Obama is trying to keep the lid from blowing off on another oil producing country and keep other countries from making war on Iran. Because this President understands that provoking war in oil procducing countries is a sure fire way to jack up prices.
So Dems bitched about Bush and gas prices because we did not have to go to war in Iraq.
Obama does not seem to want to invade Iran and cause the disruption in supply that war would bring and the resulting higher prices.
So Dems cut him some slack.
See any difference in the approach?

Because Bush was an oilman with a bunch of oil buddies in the oil business who gave a lot of money to Bush,
and because the unnecessary Iraq war drove up oil prices by destabilizing the Middle East,
and all his oil buddies got rich(er).

During the Bush years, the democrats hammered him on high gas prices while the republicans remained silent. Now that a democrat is in office, we have a reverse situation where the republicans are hammering Obama on high gas prices and the democrats are remaining silent.
I think blaming the President has much less to do with the reality of the situation (ie does a single man really control if gas prices will go up/down) and more to do with the political affiliation of the president and the political affiliation of the blamer (ie if they're opposite, then the President is to blame).

No, the democrats are most decidedly NOT remaining silent. they're screaming they're excuses from the roof tops.. actually. try again.
Gas prices average $1.78 per gallon when Obama took office. ( Let the excuses begin )

Come on, you say that like the low price had nothing to do with the gargantuan stock market collapse that occurred right before Obama took office.... kind of misleading.
6/21/2008 - Gas at about $4.12/gal
(what event happened between this time?)
11/19/2008 - Gas at about $1.61/gal

Hmmm.. If I recall it was right about that time that George Bush lifted the moratorium on offshore drilling, with Congress following suit in September of 2008.
